Charging by conduction involves the contact of a charged object to a neutral object. .

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Suppose that a charged aluminum plate is touched to a neutral metal sphere, the neutral metal sphere becomes negatively charged because of the results of being contacted by the charged aluminum plate.
  • A charged metal sphere is touched to the highest plate of a neutral needle measuring instrument, the neutral measuring instrument becomes charged because of the results of being contacted by the metal sphere.
  • For example, a student standing on an insulating platform touches a negatively charged Van de Graaff generator, the neutrally charged student becomes charged. This is due to the contact made with the Van De Graaff generator which is negatively charged.

A basketball star covers 2.70 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball (see figure). His motion through space can be modeled pr
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Part a)

T = 0.81 s

Part b)

v_x = 3.33 m/s

Part c)

v_y = 3.91 m/s

Part d)

\theta = 49.55 degree

Part e)

T = 1.11 s

Explanation:

Part a)

initial vertical position = 1.02 m

maximum height = 1.80 m

\Delta y = 1.80 - 1.02

\Delta y = 0.78 m

v_f^2 - v_y^2 = 2a \Delta y

0 - v_y^2 = 2(-9.81)(0.78)

v_y = 3.91 m/s

time taken by it to reach this height

v_y = v_i + at

0 = 3.91 - 9.81 t_1

t_1 = 0.39 s

Now when it again touch the ground then its speed is given as

v_f^2 - v_y^2 = 2a \Delta y

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(1.80 - 0.95)

v_y = 4.08 m/s

time taken by it to reach this height

4.08 = v_i + at

4.08 = 0 + 9.81 t_2

t_2 = 0.42 s

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 0.81 s

Part b)

Horizontal velocity

v_x = \frac{x}{t}

v_x = \frac{2.70}{0.81}

v_x = 3.33 m/s

Part c)

vertical velocity is the intial y direction velocity

v_y = 3.91 m/s

Part d)

Take off angle is given as

tan\theta = \frac{3.91}{3.33}

\theta = 49.55 degree

Part e)

initial vertical position = 1.20 m

maximum height = 2.50 m

\Delta y = 2.50 - 1.20

\Delta y = 1.30 m

v_f^2 - v_y^2 = 2a \Delta y

0 - v_y^2 = 2(-9.81)(1.30)

v_y = 5.05 m/s

time taken by it to reach this height

v_y = v_i + at

0 = 5.05 - 9.81 t_1

t_1 = 0.51 s

Now when it again touch the ground then its speed is given as

v_f^2 - v_y^2 = 2a \Delta y

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(2.50 - 0.72)

v_y = 5.9 m/s

time taken by it to reach this height

5.9 = v_i + at

5.9 = 0 + 9.81 t_2

t_2 = 0.60 s

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 1.11 s

A force of 10 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching i
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

114.44 J

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke................. Equation 1

Where F = Force required to stretch the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension.

make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e.............. Equation 2

Given: F = 10 lb = (10×4.45) N = 44.5 N, e = 4 in = (4×0.254) = 1.016 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 44.5/1.016

k = 43.799 N/m

Work done in stretching the 9 in beyond its natural length

W = 1/2ke²................. Equation 3

Given: e = 9 in = (9×0.254) = 2.286 m, k = 43.799 N/m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 1/2×43.799×2.286²

W = 114.44 J
